It's not really unexpected considering that's roughly what Italy and Spain peaked at but we might not be near our peak yet. Italy peaked at 969 on 27th March, no-one with any sense is saying we're at "peak" yet we're still not taking firmer action.

Bearman Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 My next door neighbours are from Romania. They have been leasing the house for about 2 or 3 years. Pleasant enough family, Mum and Dad always nod but do not speak English. There is a lad of about 18 a daughter of about 14 they always smile and say hello. Then there are 3 boys, 1 about 10, 1 about 8 and 1 about 7 years old. Those 3 now speak good English and always speak. Others seem to come and go and its hard to fathom whom is whom asked if I would mind putting their rubbish . For the last two summer school holidays they have disappeared back to Romania for the full 6/7 weeks holiday. ( Dad and the oldest boy plus various others operate a scrap metal business). This afternoon there was a knock on our door and the 3 little lads asked if I would mind putting their bin back into their garden after it has been emptied on Friday. I asked why and they just said they were going away. 10 minutes later they all loaded into their people carrier and were joined by another full people carrier and off they all jolly went! They might have got as far as Dover by now! Ron Banks Midlands Hurricanes and Barrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really unexpected considering that's roughly what Italy and Spain peaked at but we might not be near our peak yet. We need to be cautious about those figures though, according to the medical officer at the press conference today (and previous days too). Just like last week, we get a low number on the Monday and then up the number leaps on the Tuesday and Wednesday. Here in St Helens, for example, we were advised in the local paper that there were no deaths in the 24 hours to Monday. On Tuesday we were told there had been six deaths in the previous 24 hours. Actually, that wasn't the case at all because thankfully the Trust provides a breakdown and we learned that three died on Friday, two on Saturday and one on Sunday. But we only found out about them on Tuesday. Today, another six apparently died over the last 24 hours. But again, not quite true. One of those six actually died on Friday. (28 people have now died at Whiston Hospital) As is repeatedly said at the press conferences, we shouldn't be taking the daily figures in the way the media likes to report them* but rather with caution as the important bit in terms of where we are in the pandemic cycle is the underlying trend, which is what the data people and scientists are watching. * (actually the bit about the media wasn't said at the press conferences!)

Cumbria is a bit of a hot spot and unlike other more densely populated areas it isn't having a field hospital built as far as I'm aware. Why people are so bloody selfish is beyond me. It's not like the Lake District is going to move. It'll be there in the summer and the autumn and indeed next spring. I hope the police really go to town on this and their message penetrates some thick skulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
